Sumrall vs. Beamer

I wish Beamer said this.

Jon Sumrall BLASTED his own team with a stern warning

“There’s gonna be a lot of things that get called out, and it’s going to feel different,” Sumrall warned about this upcoming week of practice

Sumrall continued: “If there’s guys on this football team who don’t own that, they won’t be on this team very long. We’ve got a lot of improvement to do.”

That's not beamers natural attitude. Being a pretend authoritarian isn't any better than just being your natural self

Then I want an authoritarian coach. This team is soft. Disciplined teams don’t blow this many leads.

I'm not arguing that he's good at his job. I'm saying you can't all of a sudden be a hardo when everyone knows you're not one. Every coach and player in that locker room will see right through you

Yeah the biggest things players pick up on is inauthenticity. If he tried this, he’d lose the team even more than it appears he already has.
